marriage is most definitely overrated. it's just another way for people to assume the trappings of a life they see in movies, books, etc. they jump into it without truly grasping the nature of the commitment.

i don't plan on ever getting married. i don't want to be bound to someone like that legally or emotionally. i'd rather live in "sin" and then be able to leave when it's not working any longer.

Here the finance part is still a good reason. I would never jump into it though, and it should be a decission made by the mind, not the heart. would I tie the knot? Probably not, but I wouldn´t swear on it.

"living in sin"... what a quote! living together is very normal indeed, especially for a pack-animal like humans... we need eachother, just like woves depending on the other members of their pack. sin indeed!

I agree

hmm, marriage. i'd like to think it was a good idea but deep down i totally believe thats its an outdated custom which has no place in the modern world. I can't claim to have much experience but i do believe that most relationships have a lifespan of about 6 years. People chnage constantly and what you first loved you may well drive you bonkers a few years down the line.

Marriage was 'invented' in a time when people were only living into their 40s anyway, so to expect to stay with someone until you're both into your 70s is unreasonable. I just don't see the point in getting married. If I love someone, why would I need a certificate to prove it? People who do get married should enter into it with an assumption that the marriage won't last. It saves being disappointed. And if anyone thinks they're getting their grubby little mitts on half my stuff, they've got another thing coming.

i think if you are lucky enough to find someone that you really click with then it might be worth it. my parents were happily married for 32 years and would still be so if not for her death. most of the married friends i have are happily, blissfully, joyfully married. they are lucky. but i know plenty that haven't managed to get there.

i'm one of them. but i don't have that burning desire to be married or have that level of committment with anyone. ever.

We know that I'm a drunk. I hope you understand that I am a person who is totally at ease with that. Which is not to say that I'm indifferent or I don't care, I do. It simply means that I trust and accept your judgment.
